Hello Laurie, I'm so happy that today's reminder was timely. I love that you find calm in those creative moments--I do too.

I can sure relate to chaos. I've 'tried' to declutter my office for days. Funny how chaos like this has the ability to rock our calm, at least it does mine.

I hope you have that candlelit shower. Light a candle, turn off the light and let the water wash away your troubles. It's magic.

I love that you're following along.

Warmly,

Kathy

Todays reminder couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! My cookie,confection,bread, delicious evening supper plans are only half met. I was starting to lament! Sigh. I am feeling just this side of crying. I was once so very organized. Sigh.

I am very much appreciating your Advent Calendar daily suggestions.

The words I set for my intentions for the season are Beauty and Calm. I remind myself the chaos in my bedroom is for the beautiful decorating in the rest of the house and seeing the beauty in the humble yet very noble bay tree branches I’ve used instead of holly or pine.

The calm is in the moments of that zen like feeling that happens when I am baking or cooking, delighted at finding the perfect gift for someone or folding the 1,000 paper cranes I am working on for a very unwell beloved.

The shower with a candle sounds about right just now!
